"A Master At Work": Australia Pacer's Blockbuster Praise For Jasprit Bumrah

Australia fast-bowler Sean Abbott was effusive in his praise for Jasprit Bumrah, saying that the current generation is seeing a master at work, adding that his unusual bowling action being never tinkered is a big blessing. In the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy currently locked at 1-1, Bumrah has picked an impressive 21 wickets, while averaging 10.9, making him the leading wicket-taker overall in the five-match series. "He has any delivery on tap, the accuracy, the pace. He just ticks all the boxes, session after session. There's not been one time when he's bowled in this series where he hasn't been putting pressure on the Australian batsmen. I take my hat off to him, it's been unreal. We're seeing a master at work."

Team India incurred another top-order collapse in the first innings of the Brisbane Test. Barring KL Rahul, none of the top batters in the team managed to withstand Australian bowlers. Gill, who occupies the No. 3 spot in the Indian Test team, is one of those batters from whom the cricket world has big expectations but the tour of Australia hasn't gone as planned for him. Against Australia at the Gabba in the first innings, Gill only scored 1 run before being removed by Mitchell Starc. Former India opener Aakash Chopra raised serious questions on Gill's credentials.

Virat Kohli's struggles with the bat continued in the third Test match against Australia in Brisbane as the star batter was dismissed cheaply once again. Kohli's problems with balls outside the off-stump once again proved to be his downfall as he edged a delivery off Josh Hazlewood to Alex Carey behind the stumps. Former India batter Aakash Chopra believes that Kohli should have left the ball alone considering his struggles against similar deliveries. Chopra also recalled Sachin Tendulkar's 241 in Sydney where he did not play a single cover drive and remarked that Kohli should take inspiration from that knock.
